history

The oldest mention of the village comes from the year 1312, the place name probably goes back to the farms of a settler Wigo. Weigenhofen was originally an imperial estate , then during the Middle Ages the Engelthal monastery , the Laufer Spital and Nuremberg citizens acquired manorial rights. The high jurisdiction over the western part of the village was responsible since the beginning of the 16th century the the city of Nuremberg belonging Pflegamt run , but this from hohenzollernschem Margrave Vogt Office Schoenberg has been questioned, while that indisputably include the eastern part of which is also the city of Nuremberg belonging to the Hersbruck Nursing Authority. The care department Lauf held the village and community rulership over the entire place. From 1796 to 1806 the village belonged to the Prussian Ansbach-Bayreuth , after which it came into the possession of the Kingdom of Bavaria with the cession of the Principality of Ansbach , which was forced by the Treaty of Schönbrunn .

As a result of the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century , Weigenhofen became an independent rural community with the second municipal edict in 1818, which also included the village of Rüblanden , located about three and a half kilometers east-northeast . Later the wasteland of Kohlschlag , created in the 19th century, was added. However, an asphalt road connection was never built between Weigenhofen and Rüblanden, so that the inhabitants of Rüblanden sought to become part of the Ottensoos community , which finally took place in 1965. A different regulation was found for the Kohlschlaghof, which had been assigned to Rüblanden up until then, because the municipal administration had meanwhile created an asphalt road to the remote deserted courtyard to improve the connection to the public road network. This branches off from the connecting road Weigenhofen-Ottensoos, so that there is no direct road connection with Rüblanden. The Kohlschlaghof therefore remained with the municipality of Weigenhofen and later came to the town of Lauf together with it. The remainder of the community that remained after the removal of Rüblanden was then incorporated into Lauf on July 1, 1972 as part of the municipal territorial reform carried out in Bavaria in the 1970s . In 2017 Weigenhofen had 469 inhabitants.

traffic

The connection to the public road network is mainly established by the district road LAU 7 , which comes from the north-west of Schönberg and runs through the town and continues south-south-west to the Reuth district of Leinburg . In addition, a communal road that branches off from LAU 7 on the northern outskirts leads to Ottensoos.
